I read a ton of blogs, boards, and forums. I read several that english is not the person's first language and therefore they spell phonetically. It's fun, almost like a puzzle to figure out what people are trying to say. I could never blog or comment in another language, I give those people my upmost respect.
I try my best when posting to spell correctly, make the best word choice (for me), and attempt not to slaughter the occasional adverb. If I make an error, I'll usually go back and correct it if I catch it later. This brings me to this post. I was commenting on some one's post when I thought doding. It came up as a spelling error as it does now. What I really meant was doting. I always rely on google to do my "spell check" -- if I enter an incorrect word generally it says "did you mean..." giving me the correct word.
So I googled doding. I laughed so hard when I saw the meaning in the urban dictionary (try it). Definitely not what I was trying to say!
Hope you got a laugh from this one. I will attempt to choose my words wisely, but a wordsmith I have never been!
Now, back to sewing! The origin of this blog was to document Agnes and her wardrobe. It seems like nothing but accessories these days. I want to find a line that fits her, there doesn't seem to be one. Some of the Poppy stuff fits her, but not all.
